Education


She taught them, they honour her memory


31/ 8/2004

A MUSLIM community has paid tribute to a much loved teacher who taught many of its children.
The Pakistan Islamic Centre in Rawtenstall organised a collection for Marie Curie Cancer Care in honour of Jackie Entwistle a teacher at the local St Mary's CE Primary School who died recently.
Appeals in local mosques and homes raised £1,215 and the cheque was presented to St Mary's head Julie Frazer at the Peter Street Mosque (pictured).
Tariq Mahmood, secretary of the Anglo-Pakistan Society said everyone in the Muslim community was sad over Jackie's death.
The Islamic Centre imam Maulana Obaid-Ur-Rajman said: "Cancer does not discriminate - it can attack anyone at any time regardless of age, skin, colour, religion or creed.
"The local community has responded tremendously and we are proud of them."
